Six dogs pull a two-person sled with a total mass of 220 kg. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow i

s 0.08. The sled accelerates from rest at 0.75 m/s2 until it reaches a speed of 12 km/h. a) What is the work done by the dogs in the accelerating phase? b) What is the maximum power output by the dogs? c) What is the pulling force from the dogs (assumed to be horizontal)?

Answer:

a) 2457J

b) 558W

c) 337N

Explanation:

Assuming dogs started from rest.

v=a*t\\t=\frac{a}{v}\\v=12\frac{km}{h}\frac{1000m}{km}*\frac{1h}{3600s}\\\\v=3.3m/s\\\\t=\frac{3.3m/s}{0.75m/s^2}\\t=4.4s

and the displacement is given by:

d=\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2\\d=7.3m

Using the energy conservation formula:

K_i+U_i+W_d+W_f=K_f+U_f

Because the motion started from rest the initial kinetic energy is zero, the motion occurred in-ground level so the gravitational energy is zero too.

the work done by the friction force is given by:

W_f=F_f*d*cos(\theta)\\W_f=\µ*m*g*d*cos(180)\\W_f=0.08*220kg*9.8m/s^2*7.3m*(-1)\\W_f=-1259J

so:

W_d=\frac{1}{2}*220kg*(3.3m/s)^2+1259J\\W_d=2457J

The power is given by:

P=\frac{W}{t}\\\\P=\frac{2457J}{4.4s}\\\\P=558W

and the force exerted by the dogs:

W_d=F_d*d*cos(\theta)\\F_d=\frac{W_d}{d*cos(0)}\\\\F=\frac{2457J}{7.3m*(1)}\\\\F=337N

What tripositive ion has the electron configuration [kr] 4d3 ? what neutral atom has the electron configuration [kr] 5s 2 4d2 ?
tigry1 [53]

(a)

Electronic configuration is given as follows:

[Kr]4d^{3}

Since, this is the electronic configuration of ion with+3 that means 3 electrons are removed. On adding the 3 electrons, the electronic configuration of neutral atom can be obtained.

Thus, electronic configuration of neutral atom is [Kr]4d^{5}5s^{1}.

The atomic number of Kr is 36, thus, total number of electrons become 36+6=42.

This corresponds to element: molybdenum. Thus, the tripositive atom will be Mo^{3+}.

(b) The given electronic configuration is [Kr]5s^{2}4d^{2}.

The atomic number of Kr is 36, thus, total number of electrons become 36+4=40.

This corresponds to element zirconium, represented by symbol Zr.

You want to photograph a circular diffraction pattern whose central maximum has a diameter of 1.0 cm. You have a helium-neon las
topjm [15]

Answer:

0.776 m far Pinhole should be placed before the viewing screen

Explanation:

For circular aperture of diameter D will have a bright central maximum of diameter, width is given by

w=\frac{2.44 \lambda L}{D}

where \lambda is wavelength of helium neon laser = 633 nm, D=10.cm, w=0.12 mm

Pinhole should be placed before the viewing screen is

L=\frac{wD}{2.44\lambda}\\L=\frac{0.12\times 10^{-3}\times 0 .01}{2.44\times 633 \times 10^{-9}}\\L=0.776 m
